Job-seekers can begin applying within about 100 days of the store’s planned opening in a former Winn Dixie building off Shelby Road, Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey said.

“They’ll set up an office where you can come by and apply for a job about 100 days before the store opens,” Murphrey said. “Tentatively, they’re trying to get the store opened by October, November.”

The office will open in Kings Mountain in late July or early August to begin filling about 95 positions that will operate the store. Murphrey said Wal-Mart will notify the public when the office opens.

Demolition will start next month on the old Winn Dixie building where the new facility will be located, he said. The site is near the Springs Street intersection.

The Neighborhood Market — which will be a 40,000-square-foot grocery store — was first announced in November 2013. It is one of several Wal-Mart Neighborhood Markets planned in the region, with another set to open in a shopping center in Gastonia.
